A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for about a month and a half and everything was going perfect she seemed very happy and said I give her butterflies when ever I kiss her. We rarely argued and she also said she never wants to lose me because we are perfect for each other. She is about to get her period and has been being cranky and we argued a little and now it's idk if I can have a boyfriend. But I saw her yesterday and she was kissing me and I could tell how happy she was when I touched her but she is now saying "just give me some time everything will be ok" and she hasn't taken our relationship off Facebook or anything. I don't want to lose this girl I care so much about her and don't know what to do I'm going crazy

TrancedRhythmEar agony auntTime and space is never a good thing man. More than likely her emotions are confused and as a result she feels its prob not the best thing for you guys to be together.

TELLULAH agony auntSounds like she is a bit mixed up? Maybe she is scared of her feelings towards you? I would personally give her some time to think, but not put your life on hold. Set yourself a limit of time you will wait, and then date other people. Tell her what you are going to do before you go out with someone else though! If she still doesnt know what she wants by then, I would say she is not really interested but doesnt want to hurt your feelings. xx

Dodds agony auntHi,

What you're going through isn't all that crazy, from past experience, when a girl told me she wanted space, it normaly meant one of two things;

a) she was no longer interested in the relationship and was looking for the easiest way out without having to hurt your feelings

b) she just means that and wants space probably to sort through her emotions

I think you should give her space and time to sort herself through, counter-intuitive as it feels. Don't start pressuring her and making demands of her for the sake of the relationship as such action on her part will be perceived as needy and generaly push her further away from you. Catch my drift?

Your situation's not hopeless, just focus on your individual lives a bit as when you spend lots of time together things sometimes get monotonous and boring, give each other a bit of space to miss and think of each other.

Whatever the case, time and space apart will reveal whether she wants out or just needs "space"
